Sadly, that was debunked as photoshopped.

I’m pretty sure that the issue was that the daughters wanted to go to Arizona State and party, and the father was like, hell no, I have to keep them out of there, so I’ll get them into USC. (I don’t know why any other LA area school wouldn’t suffice.)

She seems delightful! Another fun RR read.

Waller-Bridge’s other show, Fleabag, started before Killing Eve (airing its first season in 2016), is based on a play she debuted in 2013 (so material she created herself, rather than an adaptation of someone else’s book, like Killing Eve is), and she’s both the writer of every episode and the star. Was any of that…

As I understand it, she paid someone to change her daughter’s answers after she took it, not take the exam for her (which would make it a lot harder to claim her daughter didn’t know). (She reportedly considered doing it for her other daughter too, but evidently that daughter is the type of student wanted to take the…

To be fair Phoebe Waller-Bridge wasn’t kicked to the curb; she has another show that, by all reports, she’s more invested in, and she remains a producer.

Yeah, that’s what bothers me about the Huffman/Loughlin comparisons. Huffman paid $15,000 to have her daughter’s SAT scores changed. That’s bad. Loughlin and her husband paid $500,000 to commit fraud for their two daughters, and were running around threatening and intimidating people. That’s MUCH worse. However much…

Yes, someone who has a different opinion of a TV show is “entirely nuts” and “wholly unfit to review television shows!”

Yep. It also won the American Cinema Editors’ award for Best Edited Dramatic Picture of the year, so professional editors clearly thought highly of the work. I’ve heard guesses that it’s mainly on the strength of the final Live Aid sequence, or maybe for the degree of difficulty Ottman had to work with, dealing with…

Wrong Douglas Hodge. That’s Douglas Hodge, the English stage actor who won a Tony in 2010 for the revival of La Cage Aux Falles.

Wow. Zack wrote a highly positive review of Discovery, while io9 posted a review that was less than effusive. Does that mean all the usual whiners will be over there bitching about the reviewer instead of hyperventilating over here? I was so looking forward to the latest weekly installment of “Zack Handlen is a mean…

Yep, not that unusual. Recently the musical “Head Over Heels” played on Broadway, featuring the music of the Go Gos and a story set in a fictional kingdom in the 15th or 16th Century. Meanwhile, the musical “& Juliet” is getting ready to run in London, featuring the music of Max Martin (including, funny enough,…

Looking at his reviews for this season, his average grade appears to be B-. If he’s getting paid to give the show bad reviews, somebody isn’t getting their money’s worth.

Sadly, it was Yeardley Smith.

Hmmm...I could swear I read something (maybe even here) about how Brad Pitt had taken up pottery after the breakup with Jolie. And now Aniston’s taking it up? Let the new reunion rumors commence, tabloids!

Funny enough, both this episode and “That 90s Show” were written by the same person--Matt Selman. If young Homer and Marge flashbacks are a well he’s going to keep going back to, at least he’s gotten better at it.

Vulture actually posted an interesting story today about Gentleman’s Agreement and its fellow Best Picture Nominee that year about anti-Semitism, Crossfire. It made the argument that Gentleman’s Agreement was the easy, simplistic, platitude-heavy version of the subject, or the Green Book to Crossfire’s Blackkklansman.

Heh—saw someone already posted the link on this thread. Never mind!

For those who want to know, here’s an article that spills the whole story:
